The institute for advanced glass study was designed to serve two purposes. Part of this building is a research facility and work space for the development of architectural glass technologies, while simultaneously serving as a public museum and education center. The primary exhibit is a Dale Chihuly blown-glass sculpture, lifted off of the ground, know as â&#x20AC;&#x153;the sun.â&#x20AC;?

The design of this facility is based upon simple orthagonal lines, allowing the contrast and complexity of materials to become the integral pieces. To create this harsh contrast, two large structural glass boxes are extruded through the solid polished black marble panels. The elimination of fenestrations creates a dominant, yet streamlined, facade of reflective marble and transparent glazing.

With an elementary school located across the street, the goal of the facade design was to create an intriguing and playful move by using intensely variating window units. These fenestrations are pulled varying depths from the surface of the concrete library walls. Additionally, a metal mesh screen sits just off the wall surface, as to create even more depth on the facade.

The site for this project is a small parcel within the 1,500 acre Allerton Park in Monticello, Illinois. This heavily wooded portion of the park was proposed to be built with facilities for a summer institute for the performing arts. For this design, there were three separte buildings on a biaxial layout, with a central courtyard linking them together. The largest structure is the â&#x20AC;&#x153;performance and learning center,â&#x20AC;? where the performances and education would take place.

Urban Uplift is a proposed design for a multipurpose structure in the River North neighborhood of Chicago. This particular area of the city is in the process of a needed rejuvination after nearby housing projects were demolished, and its residents scattered.

The program of this building is primarily a childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s museum and learning center. The families of this neighborhood would benefit from a youth educational facility in many ways. Using this location to help its residents grow was a major goal in this design.

Located in a forested ravine within Allerton Park, this performance hall is designed to seamlessly integrate itself into its surroundings. The materials and organic shapes throughout the design lend to create a unified building and site. The wedge shape of the structure allows for optimal views in the primary performance space, while the use of prominent clerestory windows allows for ideal natural lighting. The three dominant materials, concrete, dark wood, and copper, work to offer a warm and comfortable feeling, as if being in a cabin in the woods.

Set along side a hiking trail through the forest, this proposal was to create a rest stop for passing hikers. This design incorporates a two-teir platform, primarily of concrete, with wooden benches, and a restroom. The radial and organic shape of the platforms are intended to guilde the userâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eyes out towards the best views at this site.

This project required a design solution for a house to be placed on a steeply sloping lot. Additionally, this house was to be designed based on ten foot cubic tartan grids. From this gridded theme, the various modules that resulted were pushed and pulled to create two floors worth of spaces. Beyond that, this proposal was created to have a living facade composing of small vegetables and herbs. As a result of this plan, it could then serve as a market for neighboring homes.

My junior year, I was given the opportunity to assist in assembling a temporary exhibit for a visting architecture firm from Canada. Working along side a handful of my peers, and in conjunction with three professors, we worked to recreate a vast set of acrylic architectural models set on top of an expansive display table. It was a fantastic way of learning how an established and successful architecture firm can show their previous projects in a unified, cohesive manner. 35

This sectional model is a creation made by myself and a studio partner during sophomore design studio. This was a precedent study, and we were fortunate enough to be assigned to analyze and model Tom Kundig’s “Outpost,” a simplistic home set in the middle of a high plaines Idaho desert. Creating this model in section allowed us to see how a structure’s sectional qualities are integral pieces of the overal design of building.

This competition was an international design challenge seeking to devise a small scale inhabitable space that would serve as a beacon along Chicagoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vast lakefront. This entry, designed alongside coworker, Will Prescott, proposed a mobile kiosk based upon a repurposed box truck. This truck would unfold at its various destinations thoughout Chicago as a means of promoting interaction between disparate neighborhoods, and bringing communities together. 37

This project is a memory care facility in a suburb of Chicago, with construction beginning in the spring of 2016. I was fortunate enough to be a team member with design input thoughout much of the process. The structure is a onestory dementia care home, divided into four similar households, with some shared common space. The importance of feeling like home, and connecting with nature, while providing security and calm were of primary importance here.

Though still in the early design and feasability phases, this project is a proposal for the rehab and addition to a previoulsy abandoned hospital in Chicago. The new program would provide a substatial number of affordable senior apartment units, with a split between supportive living, and independent seniors. This neighborhood is in need of such housing due to its combination of an aging population established in the area, and the issue of increased real estate costs. 42
